Plugins
BarnOwl implements a plugin system that allows for additional functionality to be implemented as add-on perl modules. This page exists to have a semi-centralized list of out-of-tree plugins that you can add to your Barnowl.

This plugin implements Twitter support for BarnOwl. You can send and receive public and direct messages via Twitter and Twitter-like services (eg. identi.ca). You can also optionally mirror select zephyrs to Twitter.
The Twitter plugin will be part of the main barnowl distribution starting with BarnOwl 1.7.
